Making a baseball team out of the vitality of Purple Row's staff

Part of the celebration of Purple Row's tenth anniversary.

For Purple Row’s tenth anniversary, I wanted to make a baseball team out of current and former staff members, wherein a big leaguer represents a Purple Rower. Rather than assigning each one a baseball role derived from a blogger role, or analogizing a playing style to a style of online expression, I wanted something a little bit more random.

I sent a questionnaire to current and former staff members with a single question: "When were you born?" Based on the answer, I determined who the first major leaguer was to debut at a younger age than each staff member.
